Hair of the Dog - A Bay Area Rescue

Dog rescue in Oakland, CA

Our mission is to enhance the lives of dogs in our community. We are committed to saving dogs from the streets and overcrowded shelters, providing essential care and support, and helping to facilitate successful fosters and adoptions that result in lifelong relationships. Recognizing that each dog and human is unique, we will work patiently and thoughtfully to help create loving and responsible connections. Through advocacy, education, and community engagement, we aim to honor the joy, comfort, and love that dogs bring into our lives by giving them the same in return.

We encourage an environment of positivity, inclusion, respect, hard work and collaboration in our dealings with each other and the public
